The theme of the Conference this year is ‘Reimagining US-India ties: Investing in mutual strengths’.

The relations between India and the USA are important to not only the two nations but also to the Indo-Pacific region and the rest of the world. The two countries find themselves in the spotlight on matters of globalisation, trade, technology and Asia’s stability. India and the USA share critical political and economic values and there is a tremendous scope for cooperation and collaboration between the two countries on bilateral and global trade and investment, technology development, defence, education, containment of terrorism, stability in Indo-Pacific area and much more.

USA-India relationship has grown exponentially during the past couple of decades, particularly in the area of business. There are enormous opportunities for mutual investment and trade waiting to be capitalised on. India offers American companies an enormous market for consumer items, defence equipment, infrastructure, education and technology while the American companies can tap into India’s enormous talent pool and expertise in frugal production. The ideological and geopolitical incentives for mutual cooperation are also vital and the two countries need to work together to support political and economic freedom in Asia.

The 4th US-India Conference will highlight the bilateral and global opportunities available to the two countries and explore the areas of mutual cooperation in the new world order.

Genesis

Partners

The ecosystem of the Silicon Valley with the presence of top tech companies, quality institutes of higher learning and massive venture capital companies makes it a fertile ground for innovations of all kinds. While India has contributed significantly to this wave through its qualified and skilled innovators, US cannot ignore the growing Indian market and the potential it offers.

It was in this backdrop that All India Management Association (AIMA), the apex body of management in India, decided to organise the US-India Conference in partnership with Haas School of Business, University of California, Berkeley in 2016. The 4th edition of the Conference to be held on 27th September, 2019 will explore areas of cooperation and joint evaluation of opportunities between the two countries.

The Conference was supported by The Consulate General of India, San Francisco; Institute for South Asian Studies, UC Berkeley and TiE, Silicon Valley.
